Convert Calendar to Java.sql.Date

Question

I seached for a solution for converting a Calendar-object to a java.sql.date for inserting it into a MySQL DB (DateTime). I know this question is a FAQ. The solution I found is the following code:
java.sql.Date sqlDate =  new java.sql.Date(cal.getTime().getTime() );When i do a print of the sqlDate to the console I get: sqlDate: 2005-06-27
But when I look into de DB I get the following date: 27/05/1905
I know that in Java the months are starting from 0-�11 and that the years counting is starting from 1900. But I assume that the solution is not to just add the correct month and year manually. because I get a correct console-output. If I do this I get a correct DB Date, but a wrong console-date.

II dont know if you found an answer but I needed a similar solution so I wrote a test program.
Let me know if this solves the problem for you.
import java.util.*;
import java.sql.*;
public class dateTest{
public static void main(String args[]){
// Step by step
// Calendar rightNow = Calendar.getInstance();
// java.util.Date today = rightNow.getTime();
// long theTime = today.getTime();
// java.sql.Date sDate = new java.sql.Date(theTime);
// In one line
java.sql.Date sDate = new java.sql.Date(Calendar.getInstance().getTime().getTime());
System.out.println("sDate is: "+sDate.toString());
}
